Thermal burn injuries are common and are associated with physical and psychologic repercussions. For epileptic patients, the risk for environmental injuries is remarkably higher. We present 2 cases of thermal burn injuries following nocturnal seizures. Many epileptic patients are educated on ways to prevent injury; however, these safety precautions tend to focus primarily on daytime activities. We highlight the potential presentation and impacts of the thermal lesions. In addition, we offer suggestions for improvements in patient education and injury prevention.
热烧伤很常见，且会带来身体和心理上的影响。对于癫痫患者来说，遭受环境伤害的风险显著更高。我们报告2例夜间癫痫发作后发生热烧伤的病例。许多癫痫患者都接受过预防受伤方法的教育；然而，这些安全预防措施往往主要集中在白天的活动上。我们强调热损伤可能出现的情况及其影响。此外，我们还提供了改进患者教育和预防受伤的建议。
